Heej Everybody!

Got a question: how do you guys think about VML (Vector Markup Language)? Is there a future for it or (as I red somewhere) is it bleeding to death?

I know only Internet Explorer 5+ supports it, but that's no problem. Can you give me the (dis)advantages of VML?

Thanks a lot!!!

It's not as good a standard as SVG.

I founded something on the internet, now it's all clear...

VML/PGML/etc...

On this (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2000/04/28/feature/svg.html) page everything becomes clear:

VML and PGML were experiments. The standard SVG took the best from both and became the main standard. :) That's was where I was looking for!

Thanks for the post!
